A four-year-old favorite for French cuisine in West Washington Park is getting new owners and, eventually, a new identity. On Tuesday, the team behind Bistro Georgette, a counter serving French street food inside the Avanti Food & Beverage food hall, announced it is taking over ownership of Cafe Marmotte in West Washington Park.

The three-person ownership team says the transition should be complete by October 2019, when the restaurant will begin offering a “refined classic French menu” that will pay tribute to Cafe Marmotte. The menu will be served through the rest of 2019. Then, in early 2020, the team will open an Italian restaurant in the Cafe Marmotte space.
